     Unfotunately, the laptop won't boot the drive as is. It's a 2G drive, and   
   from what I can gather, in the BIOS the largest hdd size is about 150M or so.   
   I've had the basic sys files for DOS 6.21 booting at one point, after   
   formatting   
   with MaxBlast Plus, but then I wasn't able to install the full DOS OS because   
   of the overlay.   
     Any other suggestions?
